I think that we have now confirmed that the default yum behavior is not to enable the proxy information in it's config file until after it has already obtained the mirror information. This is a yum design issue and when it enables the proxy information. We are going to look to see if it is possible to make the mirrorlist selection happen through the proxy info provided by yum.conf ... in the meantime, please leave the proxy information in your ENV ... or pass it in when you issue the yum command. Thanks for you feedback in helping to make CentOS better. -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
